The Road to Peace is the road to become a Child of God.

The only road to peace is

Love for Enemies
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[a] and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 THAT YOU MAY BE THE CHILDREN OF YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect. (Mt 5:43-48)

The reward was foretold in:

HAPPY/BLESSESD are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. ( Mt5:9)

And Jesus as a TRUE SON OF GOD LIVED WHAT HE PREACHED:
They crucified him there, along with the criminals–one on his right, the other on his left.
Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”  (Lk 23:33-34)

TO BE A TRUE CHRISTIAN is TO LOVE OUR ENEMIES.   It is not easy Lord, but

“Omnia  possum in eo quia me comfortat” 
“I can do all these things in him who strengtheneth me.” Philipians 4:13

“I do believe help me overcome my disbelief” Mk 9:24

Lord have mercy on us.  Free us from the devouring tyranny of anger and hatred.  Let Thy peace smothered the raging fire of destruction. Let Thy Love reign in our soul.  This we ask in Jesus name.  Amen.

Welcome Jesus

Here are my thoughts on it:
Jesus became a child too, a helpless little child.  The first who accepted Him was Mary through the power of the Most Holy Spirit.  St. Joseph knowing that the baby is conceived not from his own planned to abandon Mary, but St. Gabriel through a dream revealed that Jesus is the Savior .   Joseph immediately accepted a child (not of his own) to treat Jesus as his own.   Hence,  Joseph was the second person to accept the child Jesus.   However,  there were also others who rejected him.  There was  no place in the inn due to business peak season and most violently the threatened Herod tries to kill Him so the (foster) Father Joseph brought Mary and Jesus to Egypt.

A child comes to this world in many ways:
*conceived and born of a married couple
*concieved but born rejected and abandoned by the father
*conceived due to infidelity and born illegitimate
*conceived but born causing the death of mother
*conceived and born with disability
*conceived winning over contraceptive pills/devices and born
*conceived  and born aborted
etc, etc, etc,

Yet, how ever a child was conceived and born,  Jesus went through the same path to bless it so “The Word was made flesh.”  Actually it is through Jesus that all child was created “In the beginning is the Word…and the Word is God…all was made through Him (the Word).”  Thus Jesus says “Whom so ever welcomes a child like this in my name welcomes Me” Mt 18:5

Positivity is Happiness Magnet: A Witness and Testimony

Am quite happy enough to see a friend of mine keeping her positivity intact despite the breakage of her smart phone, yet became far more inspired when a couple of weeks later she received a new one to replace it.   Indeed good things comes to those who keep themselves positive… and am not saying that only as a witness but someone who can testify as well.  So, now that the 30 days Positive Thinking Challenge is more than over, I decided to write a blog to conclude it.  Doing so, I will have to go back to The Positive Blog as check list:

Better World

Yes , good things came my way. Dificulties surmounted, opportunities opens, friends re – newed. All that make up a better and brighter life.

You can say that again. I received positive feedback be it on my physical, emotional, ideas, social, financial etc. Life becomes beautiful.

Indeed, in fact yes indeed! And so we have smiling people around. What a better way of siezing a day.

Will I be able to travel 96 km plus to and another 96 km from amidst the traffic had I not seen my activity as blessing. True enough positive thinking makes life easier to travel.

During the 30 days Positive Thinking Challenge, having a beautiful and healthy skin and being called to be part of an advertisement by giving testimony, is so more than the fun I expected. Moreover, my friends feel the fun too.

No wonder I get meeting invites from “long time no see friends.”

Fantastically empowering. As a blogger I look forward to working right upon waking up. Immediately I check for some comments in my blog and literally work on my bed in my pajamas.

Never thought of ever selling skin products, or venturing again to put up a laboratory but this time a drug testing laboratory and able to solicit 25 boxes of soaps for outreach activity. What a great achievement for that month.

Ever since I let go of my anger and distance myself to the source, beautiful things come my way. New business opportunity, renewed friendship, better ideas and deeper relationships.

Shrugging off negative thoughts about others made me become more productive, beaming with smile and less stressed out.

Wrapping up, positive thinking challenge must go on! 😉
